The entire A Go Go album which originally contains this song is just about the most funky jazz album ever recorded. So professionel musicians just having a blast. Great video, thanks for uploading! Been looking for Scofield playing songs from that album live for a long time :-)

A Go GO is one of my favorite albums of all time, every friggn song is a gem. Sco is just so unique, and I think MMW are all such a perfect compliment to each other.

What I have always loved about John, is his ability to squeeze fast notes in at the last millisecond, just after a long pastoral jazz line.

that's cuz it's not quite fusion, they are going for a older jazz funk sound that came before fusion, and the hofner fits right in perfectly for that.

@@possibly8180 That's cool, tho it doesnt sound like a hollowbody much being so small a body, I have tried many hollow and semi hollow basses to try and get a more upright tone, including fretless ones and acoustic bass guitars and stick type uprights w no body but seems nothing can get close enough to a regular fullsize upright. If you know of anything let me know. regular uprights are too hard for me to play, Im a guitarist so need something more like an electric bass scale playability, but going for upright sound

I got to hear them play this live on the tour for A Go Go with Clyde Stubblefield filling in for Billy Martin. Watching this brings back memories of how exciting that show was. This also brought back a memory of one afternoon the summer the album came out when I was driving with my windows down listening to the finale to Boozer at a somewhat unhealthy volume. A women in her 70s pulled up at the traffic light next to me and leaned over and said "Nice jazz!". I don't know where she is now but that comment made my day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this clip! Insane, super hot playing from all four gentlemen. I saw the tour behind A Go Go, but with Larry Goldings, Bill Stewart, and a bassist who's name I sadly can't recall. It was mind blowing, but it's ultra-cool to hear Sco do this, live, with MMW, the album line-up. This is some high-altitude playing. By the way, I'm probably not the first one here to reveal this, but "Chank" is Jimmy Nolen, James Brown's guitarist. Peace!
